At Morley Place Academy we are committed to raising the academic attainment and well being for all our pupils, irrespective of any background and challenges our pupils face. We are an inclusive school and want all pupils to achieve their best by becoming confident, independent and successful learners, both academically and emotionally.

Our Pupil Premium Strategy is directly linked to our academy improvement priorities ensuring we
target and support all pupils, especially our most disadvantaged and vulnerable children. Alongside our high-quality academic curriculum, we provide every child with a wide range of opportunities and experiences which supports their personal development and prepares them for every step of their learning journey. The activities within our strategy support all vulnerable pupils including pupils with SEND, those known or previously known to Children’s Social Care and any pupil who faces barriers to their learning or well-being.

As a school, we understand the social, financial, and cultural challenges that our disadvantaged children and their families face and have created an overall package of support to address these contextual challenges as specified in the spending plan below.

High-quality teaching is at the heart of our approach, with a sharp focus on areas in which disadvantaged pupils require the most support with. This is proven to have the greatest impact on closing the disadvantage attainment gap and at the same time will benefit the non-disadvantaged pupils in our school.
